A community’s transport system and network is its life
blood providing the means of moving its people, goods,
freight and commodities. Our aspiration is to help clients
create holistic transport solutions and reliable multi modal
infrastructure systems which reduce the cost of living,
support inter community and social mobility, bolster
economic diversification and ensure effective whole of life
resource development for communities. We will achieve this
through our ability to uniquely combine complex inputs
(engineering, behavioural science, big data) to create
innovative and adaptable solutions.

We are the first global practice to develop such a program.
Including future trends in our advice to clients helps them
plan for the long term and makes good business sense. This
is one of the ways in which we create value for them.

Cherishing water so that our people, communities and
environment continue to flourish. Water is the world’s
most precious resource. The world’s water is coming under
increasing pressure due to rapid urbanisation, food
production challenges, aging infrastructure and climate
change. WSP Opus’ specialists facilitate management of the
entire water lifecycle from source to tap and return to the
environment. We provide services for water and wastewater
conveyance and treatment, water resources and flood risk
management, water for agriculture, water asset management
and for hydropower generation.

Environment is all encompassing. It includes all our
infrastructure, from transport, to water, to economy, to
buildings, to nature and heritage. Our environment has a
great level of influence on our quality of life and thus
ability to understand our environment and how it might be
damaged or enhanced, and to plan and design accordingly are
extremely important. Our aspiration is to combine our
diverse capabilities to help our clients consider complex
aspects of the environment, including where these compete,
and how best to plan and provide for the well-being our
communities and of our natural environment.
